In one of the most famous passages in Maha-bharata, Dur-yodhana,
the heroic but flawed king of the Kauravas, meets his end when he
is dishonorably defeated in battle by his arch-enemy, Bhima.
Framing a fascinating account of the sacred sites along the river
Sarasvati, the duel poignantly portrays the downfall of a once
great hero in the face of a new order governed by Krishna, in which
the warrior code is brushed aside in order to ensure the
predestined triumph of the Pandavas.
